Habitat for Humanity
Habitat is one of my
favorite organizations, and I've discovered a chapter in Silver City. When I
painted the door trim of the historic Silco Theater (as I noted in an earlier
post), I was reminded how much I like to paint things. So I signed up to help prime
and paint the interior of a new home soon to be occupied by a single dad and
his three lovely teenage daughters. The primer coat went on in every room of
the house on Thursday. Then on Saturday morning, I joined another crew of
volunteers and we completed the painting. It's been a great experience. I'm not
sure why I feel more inclined to do these things here in this small town. Maybe
because I don't feel like my efforts are lost in the big wash of a big city.
Whatever the reason, I am glad I can help.
